Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Some, if not most people will agree that we are facing some pretty tough times right now. The economy is crap, people are struggling to live paycheck to paycheck, assuming you even have a job. Unemployment rates are higher than they have been in quite some time. The nation is divided between the left wing crazy people and the right wing crazy people. It seems like common sense to me that if you want to get things done and make the world a better place, you have to work together rather than against each other. Having the country split up into different categorical belief systems only makes more problems in my opinion. As soon as you split people up, you create unrest within the society. If everyone could just be a human being, rather than having to classify themselves as being a republican or a democrat, a baptist or a catholic, a black person or a white person, I think we would be doing alright. If Stargate Atlantis has taught me one thing, it’s that we are all members of the same species, regardless of what color we are, or what planet we live on, and if we are going to defeat the wraith threat, we have to work together. Granted we face problems greater than just the impending wraith attack, or the internal disruption I’m talking about here, but if you have a good foundation to start with, whatever you decide to build will, for the most part, stand the test of time. The ancients have taught us that.

I also believe that as soon as the powers that be brainwashed society into thinking the whole point of life was to get as much money and material possessions as possible in the time allotted, and fuck everyone else, you created a huge problem. Now, instead of people working together with their neighbors to achieve a common goal, they are working against each other, trying to get as much shit as they can, destroying everyone and everything in their path. Granted, the majority of people are, for some mysterious reason, intrinsically pulled toward being greedy and selfish, but I believe that is a problematic bi-product of hundreds of years of conditioning and subtle brainwashing generously provided via advertisements and propaganda by the government and those who fund them. So what do we do? Either we can continue to live trapped in a blue dream created by those who have been corrupted by the power, or we can unplug ourselves. Turn the tv off, turn the internet on, and keep an open mind. Put your trust in science and logical thinking rather than blind faith and outdated belief systems. Think for yourself, and listen to the Jamhole. The rest will fall into place.
